mahiles Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 When I start Generals ZH it crashes when it gets to the 1st menu screen. This wasn't happening yesterday or anyday since I installed a few days back. I don't know much about crashing but if anyone was going to suggest a problem with the power supply, processor or memory I know for definate they can't be the problem because the same was happening with the original Generals a while back with different proc, memory and psu. I've formatted and re-installed since and thats why (I'm guessing) the game was working yesterday if you follow! Any help appreciated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahiles Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 I've just downloaded the latest ATI drivers and the game doesn't crash but I get graphic distortions all over the place. For example, I don't see men but I see their shadow and the dust when they walk. Or sometimes when I click a man i get lines across my display. Anyone?

ring0 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 generals and zero hour both crash CONSTANTLY on my machine, but every other game runs perfectly. call of duty, medal of honor, deus ex 2, and all sorts of super graphically-intense games run fine, but generals dies every 10 minutes, it seems. the great thing is that nobody at the ea forums can give a valid explanation as to why it's happening, either.

mistical Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I liked it when EA did not buy Westwood, never had problems, etc, I use to play LAN with my brother and others all the times, this is last few months, since zero hour has only been out since october, and man, we would try and play a big map, and it would crash, my guess is too many units/etc and I dunno, got annoying with those messages about the gaming crashing which is bull****. Playing small amounts of people, 2v2 and all, would be ok 95% of the time, when it gets larger, percentage drops :( I havn't tried 1.02 patch yet, don't really care too anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyRigger Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Install the Latest patch v1.02 and if problems persist by all means start a petition to get the EA team behind Generals and Zero Hour off there butts and get us a speedy customer service resolution rather than having us a logn time for a stupid patch. If memory serves me right the generals team is real slow with patches and always makes up excuses for delays while other companies and developers get a patch out the door in no time at all. I'm thinking of Blizzard, Monolith, UBI Soft and Activision. EALA just wants to waste time and sit back and laugh at us all the time so they continue development on there so called LOTR RTS due out this summer. EALA's Priorities are all screwed up. -JollyRigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveoc64 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I too agree Westwood games were better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
